Brethren,
We started off the new-year by having a
great Fellowship night of Dinner and a Movie. Also
by welcoming a new Entered Apprentice into our
ranks. The degree was exemplified in outstanding
fashion. We saw our weaknesses and found what to
improve on but all in all it was a GREAT start! I’d like
to congratulate all the Officers in attendance for
doing a Great job! Also to W.Cocco, W.Swallow and
to Bro.Curtain for joining in on the fun!
If you are reading this and are located in
Southern Nevada you are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED
to attend our Lodge. If you cannot drive yourself to
Lodge, let us know and WE will arrange for you to be
driven. If I see you on a weekly basis at lodge, Thank
You! If I have not seen you present in a while or we
have never met face to face, PLEASE COME BACK!
YOU are OUR Lodge and we will become stronger if
YOU are involved!
It is the time of year when we kick off our
annual Bikes for Books program. For those of you
who are not familiar with it, this is a program that we
use to promote reading among children. We hold a
competition in which children grades 2-6 are
encouraged to read and whoever reads the most
books is given a bicycle with a helmet and lock. Last
year we gave out 6 bicycles, two per grade, at local
schools. It is very gratifying to know we are doing our
part to encourage kids to read! Anyone interested in
helping out, whether in fundraising, assembly of the
bicycles, or who wish to be present at the
assemblies when the bikes are presented can
contact myself or the program chairman, W. Brother
Mike Clark. Further details will be forthcoming.
We are currently planning the trips to visit
our Brothers of Oasis Lodge, Vegas Lodge, and
Acacia Lodge. Info and Dates will be given at the
Stated Meeting and will be posted on our Calendar.
I would like to extend a special invitation to
all of our Brothers with February Masonic birthdays
to attend our next Stated. Allow me to greet you in
the East, and along with all the Brethren, to wish you
a Happy Birthday.
Fraternally,
Miguel Zavala WM

It is a quick
Fundraising has been going well so
far. Don't forget - the drawing for our
current gun raffle is scheduled for the
Stated Communication in March. If you are
a newly raised Master Mason we highly
encourage you to take some time in the
next several months to consider, what - if
any, parts you may like to begin learning in
our rituals. One of the most vital functions
of the Lodge is the responsibility to interview
and ultimately transform a candidate into a
Brother. The opportunities to partake in that
ancient process are many. Parts vary from
niche to central.
Whether one has a
penchant for public speaking or perhaps
one is shy and wanting to improve
themselves in , the rituals are one of the
best
Hail brothers; we are off to a great start for the
new year. Our stated communication on the 6th
was a big success and the Fellowcraft degree
which turned into movie night was also a load
of fun. We heard good things about the
refreshments, but if there are any issues please
let us know.
Without too much more to say I offer the
following-
There once was
a young man named
Hiram.
Who asked the question of; who" I" am
The answer we find with ease,
Is to be blind but to be pleased
That he was a good and honest man
Now the burden we heed
To be as good as he
This man they said you could trust is dust
and trust you must
He built a Stone temple without iron
Sincerely,
All stones they say were laid by thy hand
To honor the king of my land
